[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8 seems very young for travel anything. My kid is older and on a hs team and has zero interest in the sport she played at 8. To me, travel is already pushing at that age. So my short answer is no.[/quote] In northern Virginia the "pre-travel academies" where you can pay for your kid to have a snobbier rec ball experience, start at 6 for soccer. It's insanity and it's coming for other sports too.[/quote] I don’t think this is an accurate description of club soccer for a six-year-old. Mine is in a program that at older age is competes at a high level, but the six-year-old group practices twice a week with great coaches and motivated kids and families, and has very few actual games against other teams. Most of their games are small area scrimmages against other kids in the program and it’s been a good experience. [/quote]
